Get in touch with the doctor who prescribed it for you. That doctor would be the one who is able to tell you just exactly how it affects your mood. The way a mood stabilizer works is different from one person to another.

How will Olanzapine(Zyprexa) make me feel?
Hi. I have been on 15mg of Olanzapine(Zyprexa) for about 10 days now. I am 22 years and and live in Scotland. The psychiatrist put me on them for high/manic mood i believe.How will they make me feel?I have been on them for ten days now and haven't noticed much of a difference. I still feel high.

Yes quite likely it will make you drowsy and sleepy. However it is not recommended to increase your dose unless prescribed by your doctor. You are doubling your normal dose, which puts you at risk of other side effects also.

If you are planning on doing this because you have trouble sleeping, there are other safer methods of dealing with this. Have a look on the internet for insomnia, and perhaps talk to your doctor about it.

How can i lose weight and still be on olanzapine medication. I just keep on putting more and more weight as the days go by. i've even started to exercise more and i'm still putting weight on. Help! What can I do to stop gaining even more weight?

Tri Formative Prayer worked for me. It is supposed to be Christian, which I am not by any means. Basically it is hypnosis. Worked like a charm. Lost 20 pounds and never gained it back. Check it out if you want. I found it on www.therisinson.com in the store tab.

Do you think 19 olanzapine and 21 celexa could kill someone?
if not kill you, what will it do to you?

If you, or someone you know, took the above drug cocktail, you need to head to the ER.

Drug overdoses vary from person to person. It may result in a miserable night of vomiting, but could also result in loss of life. If you, or someone you know, has overdosed, get to an emergency room asap.

In studies, very high doses of Celexa (up to 2000 mg) did not cause loss of life. However, loss of life is more likely to occur if the drug is taken with other medications or alcohol.

For olanzapine:Symptoms of an overdose include tachycardia, agitation, dysarthria, decreased consciousness and coma. Death has been reported after an acute overdose of 450 mg, but also survival after an acute overdose of 1500 mg.[30] There is no specific, known antidote for olanzapine overdose, and even physicians are recommended to call a certified poison control center for information on the treatment of such a case.

On psychiatric medications?
Which of the following drugs is the most sedating:

how long does it take for aripiprazole 10mg to?
come out of your system I was taking it for four months and it made me pace the floor. I am now on Olanzapine 5mg and still pacing the floor so I need to know how long before the aripiprazole gets out of my system.

All the way out would be about 23 days. First half life is around 3 days, and you should feel change then.

Abilify is an activating med, too much so for some with bipolar. That you are still having problems on Zyprexa could mean your dose isn't high enough. ??? That's a guess. What isn't a guess is that it is very much in your interest to call your doctor.
